Prostatitis is a very common disease among men (women this disease is not threatened because the prostate gland is an exclusively male body of the genitourinary system). Only one of the five representatives of the stronger sex even once in life faced with a similar problem.
Prostatitis is a male disease of the urogenital area, a mandatory attribute which is an inflammatory process that is localized in the prostate gland.
Prostatitis is so widespread today that almost one hundred percent confidence of the sick to them in varying degrees, can be considered every person who crosses the threshold of 45 years.
Why in this age aktiviziruyutsya problems with men's health?
Actually it starts much earlier, the modern pace of life, filled with stress, sedentary lifestyle, office work in front of a computer, poor diet, regular alcohol consumption and sexual intercourse with frequently changing partners without using contraception — all it is those same factors, which gradually leads to inflammation of the prostate.
The symptoms of prostatitis, which first drew the attention of a man are usually the following:
- Early in the disease, when the prostate only began to increase in volume, it only slightly compresses the ureter, which surrounds like a ring on your finger. Thus, one of the first symptoms of prostatitis would be considered a small narrowing of the ureter, and, consequently, an obstacle to the passage of urine, difficulty urinating.
- The resulting problem is frequent urination. First, this manifestation is not a concern, man, never questus before that night, can stand for emptying the bladder once or twice in the night and chalk it up to an extra Cup of tea for dinner. But, over time, the intervals between urination will be greatly reduced.
- The presence of pain in the abdomen is one of the first symptoms of prostatitis. They can be of different sensations: pulling, pressing, bursting, disturbed they are usually in the late afternoon or after any power loads.
- Minor disorders of erection and premature ejaculation, of course, take any man and his partner some concern, but it is also often blamed on fatigue and stress.
Please note
Such insignificant at first glance, disorders of the male urogenital system, without due attention, from both the patient and the physician, will certainly result in great problems, which chronic prostatitis.
Inflammation of the prostate gland can be acute, bacterial form and, in the case of running of the disease, its complicated, the chronic form.
Symptoms of prostatitis in the acute phase of bacterial shapes:
- A high body temperature for a long time is in the area of 39 degrees.
- Chills.
- General weakness, body aches, painful condition.
- Headaches.
- Nausea, in particularly complex cases there is often vomiting.
- Severe pain in the perineum, lower abdomen, and periodically in lower back and testicles. Pain is often worse when the stool, as well during bowel movements can appear mucous discharge from the urethra.
- When digital rectal prostate examination the doctor can be detected by the increase in volume of the prostate, changing its structure — often palpated various formations and scars.
- Frequent, difficult, painful urination. Due to the fact that too much inflamed gland squeezes the urethra, the man have to strain to start urination, because of the same reason and in some cases the bladder is not completely emptied, which does not bring the desired relief after visiting the toilet.
- Sharp pain during ejaculation.
If not treat prostatitis at this stage, it is guaranteed to develop into the chronic stage.
Chronic prostatitis is divided into three main types:
- Chronic infectious prostatitis.
- Chronic noninfectious prostatitis.
- Chronic asymptomatic prostatitis.
Symptoms of prostatitis in asymptomatic as is clear from the name, are not available, the patient complains of nothing, is a way of life, as usual.
It turns out in most cases by accident, in taking blood tests and finding of the increased amount of white blood cells or bacteria, or by taking a biopsy of the prostate.
In some cases inflammation of the prostate is detected at open surgery in the prostate or surgery on her.
The symptoms of prostatitis when it is chronic non-bacterial form:
- Abacterial prostatitis has another name, namely "chronic pelvic pain syndrome". Pain frequent, repetitive, but both in smaller and in a big way. Localization of pain is intermittent, this may be the very prostate of the perineum, and pain in the tailbone, testicles, the male sexual organ. During defecation pain are concentrated in the anus and rectum. Increasing the intensity of the pain occurs even at low loads.
- Disorders of sexual desire, decreased libido, erection unstable, occasionally losing in the process of copulation, as well as early ejaculation. To prevent the deterioration of the situation, it is recommended immediately consult a doctor, as with timely treatment there is a high probability of full recovery of sexual abilities men.
- Voiding. The urge to empty the bladder quite often, but completely empty it does not always have to put in the effort. The stream of urine becomes much thinner, this is due to the presence of primary sclerosing changes of the ureter in the area of the prostate.
- Depression, mild or severe depression, lethargy, insomnia, or, conversely, drowsiness and fits of anger — is possible, the manifestations of psychological disorders in men suffering from prostatitis.
Symptoms of chronic infectious prostatitis in the form:
- Pain syndrome in this case depends entirely on the degree of aggravation of the disease in a given time. With peak concentrations of bacteria dull dragging pain, continuous, localized in a groin, scrotum, lower abdomen, worse in sitting position (especially when on a hard surface), urination, defecation and ejaculation.
- During remission, a period of weakening or complete disappearance of other symptoms of prostatitis in its chronic bacterial form, voiding, but rather the voltage when you try to empty the bladder and the inability to do this fully is the only symptom that remains with a person in this disease. At the time of exacerbation is most often the person is completely deprived of the ability to urinate because of inflammation iron simply blocks the passage of urine in the urethra, or urine flows drop by drop, literally.
- Fullness and pain in the bladder also often accompany the disease in the acute phase. The stagnation of urine promotes the development of infections and the formation of salt microcrystals, which injure the mucous wall of the bladder. Urination in the urine are observed filaments and flakes are white in color.
- Often there is prolonged erection during sleep, but at the time of intercourse, she often becomes so that to complete sexual intercourse is not no way. If this happened, you may experience sharp pain during or immediately after orgasm, but the ejaculate can be seen, the impurities of the blood.
- Amid all these symptoms, especially during acute men are often subjected to psycho-emotional disorders of varying severity. In most cases they are depressed, apathetic, diffident, and their thoughts are the complexity of treatment, and fatigue from constant pain. This marked irritability and even aggressiveness when afficiens topics related to the health of the patient.
- Patients present a complete picture of the General intoxication: fatigue, weakness, headaches, reduced immunity, patients often refuse to eat and always want to sit or lie down.
During clinical exacerbation of prostatitis may be cases of acute reaction to the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, without an accurate diagnosis, and proper, appropriate and timely treatment, lead to such complications as blood poisoning and even local areas of suppuration in the body of the prostate.
That is why when the first signs of discomfort, it is recommended immediately consult a urologist and not to self-appoint themselves to all sorts of traditional medicines, candles, pills and other medicines, having read the reviews on the Internet. Treatment at home is possible only after consultation with a specialist, the price of the issue is your health.
Symptoms of prostatitis — what to pay attention?
Symptoms of many diseases are similar, for example, the urination disorder may be as in prostatitis and prostate adenoma. Signs of any disease more specifically characterize it, as belong only to him, avoiding vague language.
Common symptoms of prostatitis have their own features at each specific stage of the disease. For example, when running the acute form of inflammation of the prostate in this glandular-muscular organ can develop not just purulent inflammation, but also to form apostema cavity. Most often this state is accompanied by quite high, not low temperatures, mulligrubs' in the lower abdomen, suprapubic region, perineum, and upper thighs. Frequent urge to urinate, but the urine flow is significantly hampered, because the urethra gets squeezed prostate gland to such an extent that in some cases, only medical intervention can help to empty the bladder.
These symptoms of prostatitis rather common for people who are at risk: patients with extremely reduced immunity, patients with drug and alcohol abuse, cancer patients.
Most men inflammation of the prostate does not manifest itself explicitly. Lie dormant symptoms of prostatitis occur only a few mild disorders: frequent urination, occasional discharge from the urethra, burning and itching in the ureter, reduced potency, the decline in sperm quality and, consequently, inability to conceive, as well as pain in the pubic area, perineum and genital organs.
If you do not pay attention to these signs of prostatitis, the result can be various negative consequences, for example, a significant change in the body of the prostate, up to the need of surgical intervention.

Man may notice how during bowel movement urethral mucus.
